2 SHEETS-SHEET 2,

I and cpind member H is rcciprocable in standard and capable o't re iprocction in standard W", but rt l1 ml movcuncut, or in any other un r:

lieferring to Fig. 5, which is asection. of any oi tire t iinders euc as indicated. by X ulreutly mentioned and is a, fluid tight Li ves el; i -itible curl inexi These liners are ad in a fluid l mu. oer at one end the cylinder Z dii in; :t' min in a fluid tiglitmanner t. i id to the end X" of the ruin "which enters i cylinder or one to end of o double mm. The liner shown is of "n entrant iorn'i, doubling ward upon itseii: therein. moves into the cylinder H d unrolii elf as the ram moves 'd. n o'wcvcr, be made of the bellows or utlic mitrtblc form. The liners may be made t rubber t'iitl'r u cantbric or other lining, or of other fluid tight flexible and inextcneitne materiel To prepare the apparut for action the cylinders G G" areconnected by means of pipes B to cylinders l1: and respec tively of member H, and tbe whole of the two separate t ng in each case of a transmitting cylin. n; pipe connection and receiving cylinder, is filled with suit-- able fluid through suitable filling connections at the highest points of each system, or a pump may be used discharging prefcrably into the lowest point of each system. If then, the Wheel be moved in direction to cause say an upward motion oi? rein F and a downward motion of mm F the rain J will. move from left to bt carrying the control valve spindle N w "I it, opening the control valve and starting the engine sliuptt in a certain definite direction of rotation. The shaft S and Worm T are revolved, the. Worm Wheel V is rotated and acting its at nut upon the screw U moves as one body from right to left, th reciproceble H and the ruin, can: cont l' Wit i Ll u mt obtained shutting the inlet portion 0 cylii, end stepping the engine. Ii? the operator continues turning the band wheel. in the some direction these motions will continue simultaneously or newly so e'lntil. the member H has reached the extremity of its travel from right to left, the extent oi. this being determined by what is required to give the control. valve on amount oi opening sulficient to cause the engine to revolve the number of times rcqu d to carry the rudder from mid position to hard over. The motion of the bond Wbecl being reversed the ilm lOn of the stem is reversed and the rudder cei ied to herd over positime. on the opposit side. "ll member H will then have trove cin y hand position. Any intermediate position may be obtained by corresponding intermediate movements of the hand wheel.

In order to prevent any damage bei11 done through the hand wheel being move and excessive pressure put upon the svstem, when no steam is on the englne or under any other circumstances, the cylinders G and G may be mounted movably on the columns and springs fitted at 0 and 0 between the adjustable crossbeads O and O and abutmcnts cast with or fixed to the cylinders so that either cylinder may rise and temporarily increase the capacity of the system in which the excess of ressure is generated returning to its normal capacity when this pressure is removed. A further device may be fitted to prevent damage due to excessive temporary pressure. 011 each cylinder a. prmection a ai -may be cast or fixed. Into each of these projections'is screwed s set pin, preferably ad ustable, prolonged above the surface of each pro'ection by a predetor-mined amount. On t e spindle CI. diskcr abutment b is fixed, the lower surface of which may be plain or may be perforated with holes all around into which thesat pins referred to may enter when either cylinder rises, or arecess may be turned all around at the necessary radius for the pins to enter. This arrangement acts as folloWs:-When excessive rcssure occurs one of the cylinders G or the resistance ofthe springs alreadyvmen tioned. The point ofthe set pin attached to this cylinder jams on the bottom of the disk, or enters one of the holes should these be provided, or jams in the recess should i t be the arrangement. In an case furtbcr motion of the hand wheel in a direction that will cause a further increase of pressure is prevented and the wheel must be tr ncd in the opposite direction and the p; we thus relieved, otherwise the Wheel will remain prevented from moving in the ti mticn to increase pressure until. this p assure removed by the working of the engine, or the cause being ascertained and dealt with.

Should it be unc'lcsimblc-in any special case to have the pipe ctiinnections to receiving cylinders moving through the travel of these, the pipe connections may be made to enter the rum as shown at f f and holes ultliough not specifically described. M

It so desired the arrangement mav be do as described embodylng the cdvan rises overcoming rangements may be made for theeie purposestages to be obtained by making the telemet-or receiving cylinders form the control valve reciprocating gear, but omitting the liners. In this case the usual arrangement of glands, packing, and the like, would. be

substituted for the liners and feed make up tank or tanks, by pass arrangements, and the like, as usually fitted at present, be arranged for Where necessary Should either system break down the other may still be employed to carry out all the necessary operations by means of the addition of a spring or springs or similar posite direction the fluid pressure is removed and the spring allowed to act. and pull the valve in the opposite direction.
